Spiezio, 40, a two-time World Series champion with the Angels and Cardinals during his 12- year MLB career (1996-2007), will serve as the grand marshal for the third stop of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross on Saturday night (Jan. 19) at Angel Stadium.

We caught up with Scott Spiezio, the Angels third baseman whose three-run, seventh-inning home run sparked a Game 6 comeback in the 2002 World Series. He's returning to Angel Stadium on Sunday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

• Anthony Andro in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "The only good news for the Rangers on what turned out to be a dismal night is that Wilson said the blister won't keep him from his next start. That won't come until Game 6, if the Rangers can get there." Wilson said if the blister had torn between innings, he "could have superglued it."

• Andrew Baggarly: "I guarantee someone will opine that the Giants' NL West title is tainted because of Guillen. I wouldn't agree with that. Sure, Guillen had one six-RBI game against the Brewers. Other than that, he was wretched. He probably cost the Giants more games because Bochy continued to play him."

• Lot of talk about Lee going on short rest. It's not that simple, though. Unless you start Hunter in game 5 -- in which case, what's the point? -- it would mean that Lee goes on short rest, then Wilson goes on short rest, then Lewis goes on short rest, then Lee goes on short rest.
